Investment Possibilities in Riga
|
This year, the city of Riga participated along with Stockholm, Copenhagen, Vilnius, Budapest, Munich, Oslo, Warsaw and others in the MIPIM 2009 exhibition.
This is the 20th international real property exhibition MIPIM 2009, which is considered to be
the largest, most authoritative and presentable forum of investments in the world. More than 8 000
world real property market participants participated in the exhibition – 3 500 investors,
representatives of 200 cities and others, such as bankers, builders, architects and representatives of
regional unions. By considering the international financial and real property market problems, the main subject of the talks at the exhibition was the impact of the world economic crisis on the real property market and possible scenarios for its recovery.

The task of the portal http://www.rigasprojekti.lv/ is to acquaint you with all the interested persons with the most topical information about the tenders of the European Union’s projects and international projects, in which the Riga City Council and its structural units are participating.
The information in this EU program and funds data base is regularly updated, as soon as the information is received from intermediary institutions and program/funds coordinating units. The information for the portal is prepared and regularly updated by the Riga City Council’s City Development Department’s Economics Board’s International projects division.
